Back to Basics

On October 22, 2019October 22, 2019 By qlmcadamIn CreativityLeave a comment

When I was in third grade, my teacher made an exciting announcement: we were able to submit our own creative writing to my school's literary magazine. If our writing got picked, we would be published in the magazine available to the whole school. As you might be able to imagine, the thought of that left …

The Get Honest Project: Years Go By

On May 20, 2019 By qlmcadamIn The Get Honest Project2 Comments

The past few years have proven to be quite transformative. I wish I could say I have a documentation through my writing, but as I say in today's YouTube video, I got silent. It was my choice, and how I wish I could go back and make a different one. But my only option now …

What’s Going On? Get Honest Project

On May 8, 2019May 8, 2019 By qlmcadamIn The Get Honest Project2 Comments

For the month of May, I'm going to be unraveling the Get Honest Project. We're going to get into the nitty-gritty: stories I haven't told, topics most people shy away from, my own flaws, and what it really takes to change life for the better after tragedy. I don't want to do a rehash of …

Falling in Love with Fitness: March/April 2019

On May 4, 2019May 4, 2019 By qlmcadamIn LifestyleLeave a comment

Well, these two months didn't quite go as planned...such is life, right? But even so, I think I accomplished a lot in these two months when it comes to my fitness journey, mostly in regard to learning what won't work for me. I think that it's super important to find the value in the "failure", …

Travel Oasis: Québec City

On March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 By qlmcadamIn TravelLeave a comment

A few months ago, my mom and sister came to me with a proposition: the three of us going to Québec City with my sister's school. They had a few extra slots, and my sister's French teacher had offered them to my mom and I as chaperones. Normally, I would've thought about it for a …

Digging into an opinion, a discussion, and an analysis on a phenomenon. What do you think about Black Friday? Link in bio 🛍
•Find my latest blog post, “Going in Afraid”, at the link in my bio• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ What does it mean to capture a moment? No, really. We always see the final product, but how about the initial inspiration? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What is your process to creation? Mine involves fear right now. I’ve become fearful of my own creativity, and it’s been silencing me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Creativity leaves a lot to be decided and a lot to be imagined. It can be daunting if we let our vision for creation be overcome by its own shadow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But now, I’ve had it with fear. I’m going in afraid. Won’t you join me? 🦇
A little inspiration for your Monday ✨ Find the things in life that sparkle, and be inspired 💎 See the things that are dull, and be inspired all the same ⚓️
A little update on life 🕯The content I’ll be publishing for the rest of 2019 is solid, and it’s really going to set up what I have in mind for 2020. So much to come. This is just the beginning of Word Oasis.
You know, putting yourself out there in an earnestly vulnerable way never becomes easy. Baring your soul to the world will always feel raw and ragged. 🕸BUT🕸 There is something so dually freeing and exhilarating about it. It’s exhausting and sacred, and always so real. There is a burning light shone on the deepest cracks of our existences, and yet it seems to sparkle. 🕸BUT🕸 As complicated as it is, we must keep expressing. Keep creating. Keep publishing. Keep reminding of the stories. Of the inspiration. Of the seamless beauty that remains. Keep going, creators. The world needs us.
This is my new era. It’s been awhile since my writing has been consistent enough to constitute an era, but here we are. 🕸 I’m entering into a new vibe, a new facet of my expression. I couldn’t be more excited to share a peek into that in tonight’s blog post. 🕸 I’m feeling haunted these days, and in the best way. Much more writing to come; it’s already bubbling up. Link, as always, is in my bio if you want to find out more.
